Since becoming a mom, I feel really stuck in a rut of comfortable and baggy clothes, and I know that I would love for that to change. I want to feel more confident, and more beautiful and excited about my outfits, so at the beginning of the year, I am sitting down with myself to figure out what is it that I want to wear this year and what style am I most drawn to?
I want to define my style, I want to get to know what colours suit me, and what clothes suit my body, and then I want to set out to build a capsule wardrobe by buying / making clothes that I am absolutely in love with!
So I am starting a new series on my channel about HOW TO FIND YOUR STYLE in the hope that my journey to finding my style will be educational and informational for this lovely community. So if you're equally as confused about your style, join me on this adventure and let's figure this whole style business together.
Here's the plan for my new series:
I plan to split this series into the following episodes:
1. Wardrobe / Style Analysis (today's episode)
2. Inspiration and how to filter and apply fashion content
3. Identifying which colours suit my skin tone
3. Identifying which clothes suit my body type
4. Capsule Wardrobe
If there are any requests or anything that I might have missed, please let me know and I will for sure consider making it a part of this journey!
Thank you so much for your support,
I am personally so excited to find my style, in the hope that this year I will be smarter when it comes to choosing sewing projects as well as choosing what clothes to buy when I add new things in my wardrobe.

Let's find our style in 2023 people! Means we can stop wasting our money and time on clothes that won't serve us well!
I feel your throwback so much 😍🙈 love celebrating the glory days every once in a while 🙌🏼
Yeah it’s good to remember that you once felt good in your skin and it’s time to bring that back! Thanks so much for watching!!!
Thank you so soooo much for celebrating how good you felt! It's very refreshing to hear how much you enjoyed feeling in yourself. Such an uplifting and beautiful video. Thank you.
Ah, it was nice to go back and remember the good feels! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time comment as well! 🥰🥰🥰
What a great video, I found this inspiring for me to find my style and Im almost 58! I have a wardrobe full of clothes and a sewing room full of beautiful fabric and nothing goes together. Time for a deep rethink. thank you for this
Ah this is so lovely of read! Thank you for saying that! It’s such a rubbish feeling to not have clothes that feel great so hope you will have more clarity on what you want to wear after this series! Xx
Pausing to say I remember that Christmas tree pub photo shoot and I am here for it!!!!
Emily! Haha! What a throwback hey???? Xxxx
I love your hair rn it suits you so much. As a seamstress in the Caribbean I love to see your projects it's like having such nice company. You seem to really feel strong in black and white which makes sense they are classic basics but since you seemed to express and interested in color I think you'd enjoy finding colors of fabric that work well with black and white and that suit you. I also feel like a few patterned piece add a lot of interest in a wardrobe and there so many black and white patterns out there that I think would look stunning on you and in going along with the capsule wardrobe idea they'd pair well with any other basic tops and coats etc. I think analysis really does help with structure and direction but we must always remember too to buy fabrics we love in colors whenever we see them we just think they are gorgeous I think when we mix love of fabric and style with what what we analysed suits us we really would be winning. Excited for this series and seeing you loving what you wear this year.
Thank you so much for the compliment on the hair! I really enjoy my brown hair!
And such a good tip about colour and patterns! Defo want to be more brave when it comes to that! X
@@AlexandraBurnett so glad to compliment you as a fellow brunette, your vids always put a smile on my face can't wait to see what you make next.
Love this Alex ❤️ I too feel extremely lost with my style after having two small humans. It wasn't something I worried about after having my first baby as we were in lockdown. Then I was pregnant again about 18 months after having my first baby so was back in maternity clothes again. I have no plans to have anymore babies so now I feel really ready to sort out my wardrobe and make and buy things that make me feel good! I am just heading off now to try and find photos where I was feeeeeeeling myself.
By the way you looked so cute in some of those outfits you showed. The boat outfit in particular 😍😍
Am also about to go and watch the rest of the videos in this series.
I wonder if every mom feels this way! It is such a big journey giving your body to another human and your whole self really! And you did it twice!!!!!! You deserve all the medals.
And now let the party mode be activated, let’s find our styles and be the sexy mamas we know we can be. 🤪🤪🤪
I’m seeing so much black and white for you in all your favorite outfits! I’m also doing a diy capsule this year and attempting to narrow down my style yay👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yes. A lot of black and white - my comfort zone! Ah all the best on your style journey - it’s going to hopefully help you identify what you really want in your wardrobe - I am hoping that for myself too!
Thank you for watching. Xxx
Good to see you back! Even though I am a LOT older than many of the other people who tune into your channel, it’s never too late to reassess where I am in terms of my personal style. Looking forward to the journey. I
Ah thanks so much for joining me on this journey! You’re never too old to make sure you feel good and love your style am I right?
Thanks so much for watching and for being here! X
I love this video! You have such a lovely style - as you say classic/modern/tailored meets feminine. And I think you always choose beautiful colours for your makes - very spring/summery/happy colours.
Thank you, yes, I have opted for happy colours for sewing, and often times the colour kept me going!!! X
@@AlexandraBurnett yeah I can relate. The colour of projects (and clothes and home decor etc) makes such a difference!
So excited for this series !!
Ah so glad to hear! Thank you for watching! Xxx
Yesss my baby is 15 months old and I'm feeling exactly the same
Ah congratulations!! Yes, mama, let’s figure things out together!
Love Love Love this! Very excited for this series ❤
Thank you! So glad I am not only one excited about this! 💕
So good! I’ve been thinking the exact same thing 😊 looking forward to the next video ❤
Ah thanks so much! 💕💕💕 the next video is out now, so hope you enjoy! X
Thank you for starting this series!! I am excited to watch and figure out my own style along with you. ❤
Thank you for watching! Yes, let’s figure this thing out together!!!
LOVE this idea for a series and I’m so excited to keep following!!
Thank you so much!!!! X
Alexandra! I am so thrilled for this series! I’m turning thirty this year and I feel like I have lost my sense of style! I’ve been focussed on my graduate studies, my career, and my relationship for the last 6 years. Although the results of focussing on the career/family aspects of my life have been gratifying, I never had time to focus on myself or my personal style through most of my twenties. I went on an accidental shopping ban and now I have very little clothes aside from the few things I’ve sewn. I will absolutely be joining you on this journey, ever step of the way!!
Ah hello! And congrats and all you achievements over the past years! Yes I also have very little clothes in my closet - I went on an accidental “de clutter everything you don’t like in your wardrobe” and before I sewed and bought clothes I wanted to have a clear direction!
Thank you for joining - video 2 is out now, hope you enjoy! Xx
So nice seeing this video after having a lil convo about fashion and style. Accessories are so so important! It can be a hat, a nice purse, so shiny bracelets or just a some funky hair stuff. Many people focus on clothes suitable for their body or age, however I feel that is so very important to dress according to your personality and what’s inside. Can’t wait for the following videos. Love you, Sandy!🥰
Yes, the trend where the teenage girls dressed their moms in their clothes on Tik Tok opened my eyes to see how clothes can really change your whole vibe and sometimes they can really age you.
Thanks so much for joining me on this journey!!! Lots of love! Xxx
I love your process for finding your style! I’ve been on my own style journey for the past few years, and your photo analysis idea is one I’m definitely going to have to try. I’ll probably extend it to video analysis as well since I wear a lot of outfits for filming. I can’t wait for the next episode!
Yes, video helps so much as you can see how you’re moving in the clothes!!!
Thank you so much for watching! Xx
Loved this video!! I think it is time for me to embark this trip too, so will follow your advice.
Thanks for everything!!
Ah, thank you for joining me!!! X hope the content is valuable.
I love this topic, I’ll be following you along this journey. Sometimes we just get lost with our style and reassessing it is so important. Since becoming a mum comfort has became my top priority but I also want to feel feminine, professional and modern. Not an easy task. Thanks for your videos 🙏🏼
Thank you for following!
Congrats on becoming a mom, yes not easy, which is why I felt the need for this series, I was feeling so overwhelmed and didn’t know where to start.
Hope this helps you and me haha! Xx
Thank you for this tips, this is what i do, to find out what is really my style and what makes me feel good and happy with. I began to crochet and sew and i try to plan, that i create my peaces to love and look good all together ❤ not so easy 😅 because i must find out, what look good and feel good on me...i will see 😊
Thank you for watching!! Wishing you all the best on your discovery of your style! It's made such a difference in my life, so I defo recommend sitting down with yourself and figuring out what you want to feel like in your clothes! X
It's always a joy to listen to you, I've said it before your energy rocks. Trying looking my past pictures to figure my style I found myself in a predicament, my weight changed this past few months and I'm very glad I gain some , but to be honest I only like confortable, stretchy type of clothes now, looking back I wear a lot of things but I remember being mostly uncomfortable most of the time. So I guess I should learn to make everything on sweatpants fabric?! 😂😂😂omg anyway I'm down forthis journey
Thank you for watching and joining on this journey. I heard someone say that style is about how you feel in your clothes not just about how you look in your clothes. So if you feel free and comfortable and confident in clothes that are stretchy and roomy, than I would lean into that, because that’s going to create the most joy in your wardrobe. ❤️❤️❤️
Then*
I am going to look forward to this series! And thank you for bringing us along!
Ah that’s so encouraging to hear. Thank you for letting me know! I am sooo excited too! X
@@AlexandraBurnett Of course! Ever since the lock down my default outfits have been pj pants and what ever shirt I have on hand. I have honestly forgotten what's its like to "dress up and feel good" to the point where, when I do have to dress up, nothing feels right. I know I am a casual dresser in general, but can't wear pj pants everywhere. And now that i am learning to make my own clothes, this is just what I need, step by step guide to further how I think about my clothes.
Love it! I need this too! On my way to look at my old outfit photos!
Ah this is so encouraging! All the best with your photos - I hope you love the process as much as I did!!!! Xxx
This sounds so fun! I already have a feeling for my style but I'm spending 2023 on only buying and sewing clothes that I really want and that I am willing to spend extra money on.
Sounds like you’re on it!! Yes, in this economy the only money we’re spending is on clothes that we absolutely LOVE!!!!
so fascinating! it sounded silly to look at old photos, but youve changed my mind! perhaps i shall try it too 😛
Yes, I also felt like it was a little o pony less but I was pleasantly surprised.
Pony less haha pointless 🤪🤪🤪
This was so awesome and super helpful! Since changing body shape and becoming a momma, my sense of self in my style (& other areas 🥴🤪) has gone out the window. Following along for these helpful tips 😘
Jade, just the fact that you're following along is so lovely! thank you, and hope this helps!
Exactly my topic right now🤘🏻 so perfect timing. Especially excited about the skin-color type video. Look into 12 season analysis, if you haven’t already :) thanks for being here❤
Ah so good to hear!!! I bought a whole book on colours and it’s got the seasons (not 12 though hah, just the 4) but I am learning sooooooo much!
Thanks so much for being here!x
I've never click this fast!! hi from Indonesia 🤗💜
Hello! Thank you for being so quick on here! I appreciate it! Sending love back to you in Indonesia! X
Great video!
Thank you so much! Xxx
Hi! Nice exercise. However, I’m afraid I would be too hard on myself because of my insecurities…
Can’t wait to see the rest of the series though. Very nice idea!! I’m also excited for your London-bench observation 😊 I should do this too in Paris the next time I visit the capital 😊
Ah so sorry to hear. That’s why I only focused on the time I felt most beautiful in. So maybe you can look at some photos from a holiday you went on and felt lovely in? And focus just on the clothes? X
Yes, I am also excited to see what real people who aren’t posing are wearing!!! Oh Paris is to die for, defo do it!!!! X
Excited for this series!
Do you know the youtube-channel of Daria Andronescu? She has a lot of great content about this :)
Ah no - but sounds like I should check her account out! Thanks so much for sharing! And for watching! Xxx
I love this idea! Are you thinking of going blonde again? Looking forward to future episodes 😊
Thank you so much! I am genuinely excited for next episodes too!
I loved my blonde era, and looking back at photos I did feel like man, it was so nice to have blonde hair but the maintenance was so much time and money, so I know I am not going back any time soon.
Will defo add some sort of highlights in the spring cause I can’t help myself but it will be tame! Haha! Full explanation 🤪 sorry for the essay! X
